Say, want to come to camp and fill in at a corner infield spot and be an occasional designated hitter?

Yankees general manager Brian Cashman granted there was virtually no chance of luring the Atlanta Braves icon out of retirement and into pinstripes to help patch his ailing club.

But the idea became like an annoying itch inside Cashman’s cast.“Call Mike Schmidt, too,” Derek Jeter said with a wink, upon hearing of the GM’s starry notion.

Jones won’t be walking into Steinbrenner Field with his cleats, but Cashman has cast a wider net for veteran corner infielders who are currently sitting at home.

Derrek Lee and Scott Rolen have each been contacted by Cashman, who insists these are not desperate responses to dire circumstances.

“I’d rather say it shows how creative we like to be,” Cashman said.In a more conventional move Monday, the Yankees signed veter an right-handed hitter Ben Francisco – released by the Cleveland Indians — to a minor-league deal.

Francisco, 31, could be in the lineup as early as Wednesday to compete as an extra outfielder.

Whether Lee or Rolen grabs the bait from Cashman’s expedition is anyone’s guess, though Lee seemed “intrigued” by the invitation according to the GM.

“He’s the type of player that is Yankee-like in terms of capabilities … makeup for the clubhouse and stuff like that,” Cashman said.Lee, 37, also went unsigned after the 2011 season.

“I just planted a seed. ‘If you have interest in playing, let me know,’Ÿ’’ Cashman said he told Lee, a former Gold Glove first baseman and a .281 career hitter with 331 home runs for six big league teams since 1997. “It probably has his mind thinking right now.”

Such thoughts have circulated in Cashman’s mind since Mark Teixeira suffered a strained right wrist – an injury expected to keep him sidelined at least until mid-May.

Former Cubs GM Jim Hendry, now a Yankees advisor, is among those who’ve told Cashman how Lee keeps himself in great condition.

“[But] baseball shape and workout shape are two different things,” Cashman said. Yet, “if he still was game, I bet you he still has game.”

Rolen, 37, declined an invitation to Cincinnati Reds camp, so the former All-Star and Gold Glove third baseman might be a longer shot than Lee to wind up in pinstripes.

Kevin Youkilis’ ability to handle either corner infield spot has allowed Cashman to explore third base options. On Monday, Youkilis started at first base for the first time this exhibition season and hit his first homer of the spring.

For now, right-handed hitting Juan Rivera will get a longer look at first base versus lefties, though he remains in the outfield mix with Francisco and Matt Diaz. Non-roster slugger Ronnier Mustelier is also getting a look at third base because “his bat is giving him a chance,” Cashman said.

But Jones, 40, isn’t going anywhere but Cooperstown.

“While I am flattered about the speculation of being enticed out of retirement, I’m happy with life as a bad golfer!” Jones wrote on his Twitter account following Monday’s madness at Yankees camp.

From his wheelchair, Cashman – recovering from a broken leg suffered in a skydiving mishap — had started this pursuit on social media on Monday morning, telling a few media members to tweet his intentions since he didn’t readily have the number for Jones’ agent.

“Don’t you think Chipper would be a perfect fit? I’d take Larry in a heartbeat,” Cashman said, using Jones’ given name. “I think anybody would.”
